The Habitat Mapping System is a unique application that allows the user to draw and print maps including a wide range of habitat layers. There are several location tools to find that specific area of interest. 

With funding provided by the Minnesota-based McKnight Foundation, Ducks Unlimited developed a internet-based modeling tool that allows users to interactively select and create maps based on landscape and biological criteria. Once inside the program, model watersheds by selecting parameters at the right of the screen and then clicking the Query button.

Restoration of multiple wetland functions is of utmost effectiveness when focused at priority restoration landscapes, therefore data on the historic distribution of wetlands is an integral part of developing strategic regional habitat restoration plans.

In October 2000, a Restorable Wetlands Working Group formed to begin mapping all of the restorable wetlands in the glaciated tallgrass Prairie Pothole Region of Minnesota and Iowa.
